Abstract
Emulsification processes are determined both by droplet disruption and droplet re-coalescence. This paper explains the fundamentals of dropl et disruption in laminar and turbulent flow. Emulsification results fr om different continuous emulsification machines are compared with resp ect to the energy density (specific volumetric energy input) achieved. This is the first time that such a comparison has been made for both droplet disruption itself and droplet disruption superimposed by re-co alescence.
